The smaller 1-2 kw Honda inverter gensets are as efficient as a Prius (which can output 3 kw). Roughly 0.1-0.2 gallons per hour on average. A...
Randy, a 500-1000 watt inverter properly attached directly to the 12 volt battery. The Prius supplies the 12 volt battery from the traction...

I can go all the way in to the terminals and back out in about 45 minutes. Pull the tray out of the trunk, pull the safety cutoff, take out a...
I'll be interested in reading. If your cost is below ~$500 its a winner. Fore, alternatively you can tap 1000 watts from the 12 volt system...
